Remembrance...

What a day was today!!! So many things happened and many more about to happen in the coming days..it is a bonanza for news channels..they surely would have no problems finding news for today..but obviously they might have had an action packed and tiring day!!

The dramatic confession of Kasab! It came as a big shock to everyone, the prosecution, the defence, the Pakistan govt. News analysts say there is some ploy..some tactic that Kasab is playing..he could retract from his statement and say later that he was pressurised by the police..Really complex!

Hillary Clinton visit...the media has been going on and on about her visit..but frankly she was lecturing us on climate change while US is the second largest polluter on earth..the developed nations want to impose strict targets to cut emission without themselves committing to do..such hypocrites..anyway she has signed some agreements and some criticism is coming that India gave up to US demands to the End User agreement..the details will be out soon..

The Reliance gas controversy between RIL and RNRL over the Krishna Godavari D6 fields..the two warring brothers again locked in a fierce battle over the pricing issues..

Sensex over 15000..hope the recovery starts soon..it has huge implications for all of us..at least for me :(

England won an Ashes test at Lords after 75 years! Flintoff, the mercurial English all rounder gave England a huge victory!

It is 40 years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins (he did not land) and made history..truly One step for a man, one giant leap for the mankind :)

India TV would eagerly be waiting for the Eclipse..they might have already started showing (I don't know because I don't watch it all ).. some प्रलय about to come like they did the LHC..idiots of first order!!

And the most funniest piece of shit...Zardari has brought out a new law in Pakistan that anyone making jokes about the president and sending them by SMS can be punished up to 14 years..Another attempt to curb freedom of expression..Mr. 10 Per Cent will always be Mr. 10 Per Cent..

I am wondering how would newspapers fit all this in the papers and their advertisements tomorrow.. so much to say..

But in spite of all this..there is one thing that we all are missing..it is 10 years to the Kargil War and we seem to have forgotten it..On July 26 celebrated as Victory Day we would just have ceremonies and no one would would even bother about it after that...Only the capture of Tiger Hill was shown by some English Channels.. NDTV's Barkha Dutt will show a series titled Remembrance : Kargil..I do hope people watch it..Kargil was the event that brought war to our homes by extremely brave journalists..I wonder why Pakistan has always given us trouble.. This Saturday, there was a soldier whom Ms Dutt interviewed and after 8 days he died..his brother and she remember him..do watch it.. Saturday 10 pm..
